Chapter 102: Blood Crown (Part II)
"Your Excellency. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "The guards defending the city clenched their fists at the chief of the General Staff, and he mustered up the courage to say what he wanted.
"Boys, you're all good, go ahead. Bondakov waved his hand, he saw the eager eyes of the guards of the city, he understood their thoughts, the chief of the general staff knew that they all wanted to protect His Majesty!
"For Your Majesty!"
"Glory to Galicia!" shouted the soldiers, who lined up in order to fulfill the promise they had made.
The guards of the castle went out of the city in an orderly manner, they had formed a phalanx of hundreds of people, they were ready to spill blood, and everyone was ready to wake up the moment they stepped out of the city gate.
Just after the soldiers of the Duke's Castle left the city, the 'refugees' outside the city also entered the city one after another under the command of Bondakov, and he completed the containment work well, although there were many refugees, but still maintained order.
Most of the Duke's castle had been redeployed, and Bondakov looked at the towering walls, and he knew that he could not be safe.
"Thank you, sir, thank you. The woman with the baby in her arms burst into tears, and she bowed down to thank Bondakov, knowing that it was his net that gave her and her child a chance to live.
"Don't do that, get up. Bondakov subconsciously lifted his monocle, only to find that he had put the broken glasses in the pocket of his clothes. The Chief of the General Staff was silent, he touched his chest, it was he who decided to close the gates of the city, which is why there was that desperate picture. And even so, when he decided to open the door, these refugees bowed down to him like a god, these simple people did not hate, they just wanted to live as much as possible!
"Guys, I'm sorry. Bondakov bowed deeply to the refugees who had entered the city late, and the chief of the General Staff, who had always been 'cold', put his posture so low.
All the refugees were silent, they looked at the 'adult' and bowed deeply, they all wanted to do something for their country in crisis.
"Guys, can you do me a favor?" Bondakov bowed 90 degrees, a position he still maintains.
"My lord, if there's anything we can do, just ask!"
"Yes, my lord, let's do something!" said not only men, but also many women.
"Can you please defend the city with me?!" Bondakov shouted as he gave a military salute to all the refugees.
"Long live Your Majesty Juana! Long live Galicia!" the refugees in the city shouted Juana's name, and for the first time they felt that the fate of the kingdom was tied to their own hands, that the refugees were able to move, even if they were women, they organized themselves spontaneously, and the refugees did their best, and they took up the weapons that the chief of the General Staff had prepared for themselves.
Bondakov looked at the people who spontaneously took up arms to fight for the country, and he never imagined that their young majesty would be so charismatic. (Charisma)
'Your Majesty, the old minister awaits your return. Bondakov stood on the tower, and all the 'responsibility' fell on his shoulders, just like the soldiers who chose to stay, the chief of the general staff did not want to rescue the princess, but he had to stay. The soldiers who rushed to the front are fulfilling their promises, and the soldiers who remain behind are so that they can give His Majesty a 'home' to return to.
"My lord, it's closed. The staff of the commander of the Weimar Confederation spoke, and they had completed the encirclement of the enemy according to the commander's instructions.
"Hmm. The commander of the Weimar Confederation nodded slightly, and he had already turned his attention to the Duke's castle.
'Don't you want your hometown?' the commander of the Weimar Confederation saw a large number of troops rushing to the east of the city, and he immediately gave instructions.
The commander of the Weimar Confederation was sitting on the tower, watching the fireworks all over the city (fires were burning all over the city), this was his favorite war!
Lieutenant General von Manstein executed (and planned) the attack perfectly, and all he needed to do was take Sintra's soul (Juana) and heart (Duke's castle) at the same time.
With the latest directives of Lieutenant General von Manstein, commander of the Weimar Confederation, a brigade reserve was put into battle, plus a brigade previously prepared for the Duke's castle, the number of troops besieging the duke was already as high as 1W! (The Weimar Confederation was the only country in the West to carry out military reform, the state implemented a military rank system, and according to the military merit award, the hereditary system of nobility was completely abolished, and the Weimar Confederation had not made a major move for more than ten years after the comprehensive reform.) ļ¼
"Kill it, kill a bloody way for Your Highness!" The battle in the east of the city continued, and Juana's guards had already shed their blood for her.
Thousands of people besieged hundreds, Juana and Yu Chen were blocked in an alley, they were back to back, and Yu Chen's sword had even been chopped.
"Do you believe me?" Yu Chen slashed down a Weimar Confederate soldier with another sword, he rarely used the abilities of the Awakened in the chaotic situation, he was saving his physical strength, Yu Chen knew that the battle could not be won.
"Believe. Without hesitation, Juana spoke, and in the middle of her words, the water snake she released successfully saved the life of a guard.
"Let's escape!" Yu Chen knew that there was no other choice now, if there was him, he would never abandon his comrades, it was all a fresh life, Yu Chen was infected by the spirit of these guards who swore to death, he didn't want to do this, and the young man's heart was also tormented.
"And what about them?" Juana clenched her sword, not knowing how to face the people who had fought for her if she fled.
"Your Highness, go!" a knight of the Guards single-handedly stopped three elite Weimar Confederate soldiers, and all he prayed for before dying was to run!
The elite of the Weimar Confederation had been pressed down, Juana's guards had been almost lost, and the ordinary citizens who had been inspired by her had been reduced to cold corpses.
"Do you want to live up to their expectations?" Yu Chen's words shook Juana like thunder.
'I'm sorry!' Her Royal Highness plunged her sword deep into the ground, and Juana glanced at every warrior standing by her side.
Juana leaped forward, and Yu Chen caught her on the roof.
Juana nodded to Yu Chen, she would never let down the group of warriors who believed in her until death!
Her Royal Highness's guards used their lives to buy Juana time to escape, and they didn't blame Her Highness Juana for abandoning them, they only complained about why they couldn't hold out a little longer.
The heavy infantry of the Weimar Confederation advanced steadily, and the last few dozen guards had been pressed into a small space by them, and then the slaughter began, the huge shields of the heavy infantry of the Weimar Confederation opened the way, and countless spears pierced Juana's knights of the guard into a sieve.
"Long live Galicia!" was the voice heard by the galloping Juana, the last cry of her knights of the guard.
Her Royal Highness didn't dare to turn back, Juana was afraid that she wouldn't be able to control her emotions, she was afraid that she would want to rush back and chop up the bunch of crumbs now.
Yu Chen and Juana jumped from street to street, and as they ran on the roof, Yu Chen was hit by an arrow in the calf, and the heavy crossbowmen of the Weimar Confederation used arrows mixed with Tai'a stone, and they successfully suppressed the Awakened with a sea of arrows.
Yu Chen's three layers of shields were all broken, and if it weren't for his agile skills, he would not have been as simple as being hit by an arrow.
"Can you still go?" Juana asked with concern, she picked Yu Chen up, she had lost those loyal guards, she didn't want to lose Yu Chen again!
"Small meaning. Yu Chen pulled out the crossbow arrow on his calf hard, he moved his muscles and bones, and Yu Chen reluctantly showed a reassuring expression to Juana.
Yu Chen's calf ached faintly, the physical pain was secondary, the most important thing was the constant mental pressure, Yu Chen had never really rested for a day since he left Sintra to find Juana.
No matter how good the physical fitness is, people will get tired, Yu Chen is now in a kind of mental tension, his spirit is already at the limit, and Yu Chen can't last long after such a high-intensity battle.
Looking at the enemy who was about to surround him again, Yu Chen touched the scabbard on his waist.
"Hold on to me!" Yu Chen said to Juana, who was supporting her.
Juana saw Yu Chen's movements, and she knew that there was no way to do it, and Juana clinged to Yu Chen's body.
Dozens of elite heavy infantry from the Weimar Federation surrounded them, but their footsteps were getting slower and slower, and they felt that they were getting colder and colder, and at the moment when the famous sword 'Cold Night' was unsheathed, the dozens of meters around Yu Chen had already turned into a snow-white patch.
It snowed heavily on a hot summer day, and the moment the snowflakes landed, it seemed as if they would take root, and the snow began to spread, and everything in its path had become ice crystals, and the heavy infantry of the Weimar Confederation could not believe it, and their frightened expressions were clearly visible in the ice sculptures. The streets fell silent, and there was no sound except for the gasps of Yu Chen and Juana. The soldiers who had been frozen into ice sculptures were all dead, and the moment the ice crystals formed, their hearts all stopped. The picture seemed to freeze frame, and this strange scene had appeared in front of Yu Chen for the second time.
Yu Chen felt his heart beat slower, the power of the 'Cold Night' was gradually getting out of control, and his stiff hand, which had been frozen, closed the scabbard with force.
"Boom, boom, boom. The sound of explosions was heard incessantly, this time even more exaggerated than the last, as the frozen Weimar Confederate soldiers burst open, their flesh scattered along with the ice. (The last time Yu Chen mended the knife to break them, this time it was himself that exploded.) ļ¼
A heart was blasted in front of Yu Chen along with the intestines, and he looked at the pile of internal organs carefully, and even every vein in their body was frozen into ice crystals.
Yu Chen was warming himself with the power of flames, and Juana who was clinging to him had already been shivering from the cold, if it weren't for Yu Chen's ability to warm Juana's body, then I am afraid that Her Royal Highness would have been frozen into ice crystals.
"Let's go. Juana exhaled a sigh of relief, she supported Yu Chen's cold body, the power of the 'cold night' had not completely dissipated, and Juana could feel that Yu Chen's body was slightly stiff.
Yu Chen's lips were a little purple from the cold, his body became more and more stiff, and he didn't answer, Yu Chen just nodded to Juana gently.
"Damn. Juana's cold body became 'hot' again, and a strong killing intent surged into her heart.
When the power of the famous weapon 'Cold Night' receded, the elite heavy-footers of the Weimar Confederation tightened the encirclement again, vowing to leave the princess of Galicia here.
Juana and Yu Chen are overdrawing their physical strength, they are gritting their teeth and fighting desperately, Juana's road to becoming a king has been stained with countless blood, she will be crowned with blood today!
